Played this when I was younger. if you have a windows os after xp you need to put it in compatability mode or run the compatability troubleshooter. You will still have some random glitches on the more demanding levels but its reduces their number significantly and smoothes out the gameplay.

As for the game itself its a gem that never got the acclaim it should have. Great story, great gameplay with many new ideas for its time including your choices changed the story and adding upkeep in order to maintain an army just like you would have to in real life.

If your a fan of rts games this one is a must try just remember to fix the compatability issues before running the game and remember your troops will still glitch but if the compatability settings are right it will cause minimal problems.

It may not have been the prettiest child, even back when first released, But my word this was a brilliant game.one of the few RTS's where it feels truly free form in how you tackle each level. ( after the first couple of tutorial levels at least)

One of my favorite RTS games from the Windows XP era, unfortunatley no one has ever heard of it. One of my favorite aspects is that there is a set of 5 religeous paths (3 distinct paths and 2 hybrids) that shape the course of the campaign based on the decisions that you make in game. The path that you follow also determines which specialty units and buildings you can build and each path has various advantages over the others. The AI players each also belong to a particular religeous group, adding new dynamics to each encounter.

Great game, runs perfectly on Windows 7 x64, and supports 1920x1080 out of the box.

Brilliant game one of my favourite strategy although it was made in 2003 so the AI is a bit messed up on some levels apart from that brilliant game recommend it!...you can also get it free look on youtube for downloads

CONS:- clunky & outdated graphics- graphical glitches- some AI bugs- hard to set up a mulitplayer game

Comment:Old gem in the RTS genre. Played it back in 2004 and 10 years later it's still fun. If you don't mind the graphical flaws and love various possibilities to conquer your foes with armies (or well-placed fire arrows, hehe) then this game is for you.

I absolutely loved this game! I'm so glad that it's on steam now, since my old disk has been getting fairly scratched up over the years and it's nice to have a reliable copy.

While the game's graphics have probably not aged very well for those not viewing it through nostalgia-tinted lens, it actually stands up fairly well still (native 1080p, anyone?). The strategy side is still rock solid as well, and it's implementation of formations and terrain remain uniquely excellent in my opinion. I know the old version had some stability issues, but I believe those have been addressed as of now.

The single player story is definitely the selling point for this entry and I absolutely loved it's branching endings. No matter how many times I play it, every year or two I find myself putting it back in and booting it up to play through again! The multiplayer is kinda meh in this entry, but it's still serviceable if you'd only like to buy one out of the two. So for its excellent strategy, epic story and strong replayability, I couldn't recommend this game more highly! Buy it already!

Its just so much fun. The economy is great and somewhat unique. The battles are tactical and reminiscent of total war series. The econmy feeds into it well also giving good reasons to fight outside cities in the wide open maps. The campaign is great. The faction mechanics are really fun and stand out of the croud. I'm not sure why this game didn't get better reviews (not that it was badly reviewed).

I won't say its perfect. Minimap and camera could be a bit better. Keeping track of units can also be a bit annoying as its missing some selecting mechanics that would be in a newer modern game.

I like the game, but it became unplayable for me on mission four. The units tend to lag when the music switches track. The problem is that on the fourth mission the music doesn't come back after 3 minutes of play. There is a difference on this misison though. It would seem that the task giver doesn't show when the music stops.

Very slow and clunky. If you like RTS, pick up Age of Empires 2. If you like city builders, pick up Grand Ages: Rome. If you like dynasty builders, pick up Crusader Kings. Stronghold might satisfy you if you're looking for a similar strategic mix. I'd actually suggest Majesty if you're willing to roleplay a little more and strategize a little less.

The game doesn't even have a singleplayer skirmish mode either, and everyone who plays multiplayer seems to have WK:Battles which supposedly has this plus more content but requires a direct network connection. It reminds you of playing C&C from the old days where you could only choose among previously completed missions, or had to directly connect through a serial modem connection

Games that use middle mouse buttons for rotating the camera and don't have custom controls are just asking for trouble. There's no windowed mode either. :-\

Had this game when it first came out and loved it, was one of the few games i would constantly replay just to see all the different paths you could take. Haven't noticed any of the teleporting units that people have mentioned. Definitely worth a couple of playthroughs. Absolutely fantastic game!
